Lowell City Attorney i RESOLUTION NO. 9622 (2004 Series) A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO APPROVING A VESTING TENATIVE TRACT MAP WITH EXCEPTIONS, AND MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2070 FIXLINI STREET (TR/ER 95 -03; TRACT 2570) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on September 22, 2004, and recommended approval of Application TR/ER 95 -03, a request to subdivide a 4.55 acre site into 13 single - family residential lots; and ., WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo conducted a public hearing in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 990 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, California, on November 16, 2004, for the purpose of considering Application TR/ER 95 -03; and WHEREAS, notices of said public hearings were made at the time and in the manner required by law; and WHEREAS, the Council has reviewed and considered the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact for the project; and WHEREAS, the Council has duly considered all evidence, including the recommendation of the Planning Commission, testimony of interested parties, and the evaluation and recommendations by staff, presented at said hearing. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. Based upon all the evidence, the City Council makes the following findings: The design of the vesting tentative tract map is consistent with the General Plan because the proposed subdivision respects existing site constraints (slope, creeks, wetlands, significant trees), will incrementally add to the City's Low Density Residential housing inventory, result in parcels that meet density standards, and will be consistent with the density and lot sizes established in the neighborhood. 2. The site is physically suited for the proposed type of development because it is a vacant site adjacent to existing street right -of -ways with complete City services. 3. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements for access through (or use of property within) the proposed subdivision since all adjacent properties are accessed R 9611 Resolution No. 9622 (2004 Series) Page 2 independently and the resulting parcels will have separate street frontage and access from the Fixlini Street extension. 4. The design of the tentative parcel map is not likely to cause serious health problems, substantial environmental damage or substantially and unavoidable injure fish or wildlife or their habitat because the perennial creek, two springs, wetlands and woodlands along the property's southeast and northeast boundaries will be protected and enhanced to provide significantly improved habitat over the current condition. 5. The property to be divided is of such size or shape, or is affected by such topographic conditions, that it is impossible, impractical or undesirable, in the particular case, to conform to the strict application of the regulations codified in the Subdivision Ordinance because the site contains sensitive resource areas (creeks, wetlands, woodlands, trees) that must be protected and a moderate slope where a nanrower street section will minimize grading, thereby reducing drainage impacts, erosion and sedimentation and visual resources. 6. The cost to the subdivider of strict or literal compliance with the regulations is not the sole reason for granting the modification, because other findings are made to support approval and the exceptions relate to existing physical conditions of the project site. 7. The modification will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, or be injurious to other properties in the vicinity since the exceptions will result in a reduced . street width that can provide adequate emergency vehicle access and an alternate parking equivalent consistent with the Subdivision Regulations to standard curbside parking. 8. Granting the modification is in accord with the intent and purposes of these regulations, and is consistent with the general plan and with all applicable specific plans or other plans of the City, because the exceptions allow the project to respect existing site constraints and does not grant special privileges or modify allowable land uses within the existing R -1 zoning district. 9. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared by the Community Development Department on September 13, 2004. The City Council finds and determines that the project's Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately addresses the potential significant environmental impacts of the proposed project. SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The City Council finds and determines that the project's Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately addresses the potential significant environmental impacts of the proposed project, and reflects the independent judgment of the City Council. The Council hereby adopts said Mitigated Negative Declaration and incorporates the following mitigation measures and monitoring programs into the project: Resolution No. 9622 (2004 Series) Page 3 Mitigation Measures: Aesthetics 1. All 13 lots are designated as "sensitive sites ". This status ensures that future site development will respect existing site constraints (slope, creek, springs, trees), privacy of occupants and neighbors of the project, and be compatible with the scale and character of the surrounding neighborhood. The development of the lots, either cumulatively or individually, will require Architectural Review in accordance with Municipal Code Section 2.48. ➢ Monitoring Program.: Compliance with this requirement will be monitored through the review of detailed plans submitted for Architectural Review and Building Permit by the Community Development Department staff. Air Quality 2. Development of the site could result in increased levels of fugitive dust associated with construction and grading activities, as well as construction emissions associated with heavy -duty construction equipment. The following mitigation measures have been provided by the APCD to control dust and minimize potential violations for the project: (A) Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible. (B) Use water truck or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from leaving the site. Increased watering frequency whenever wind speeds exceed 15 mph. Reclaimed (non - potable) water shall be used whenever possible. (C) All dirt stock -pile areas should be sprayed daily as needed. (D) Permanent dust control measures identified in the approved project revegetation and landscape plans shall be implemented as soon as possible following completion of any soil disturbing activities. (E) All disturbed soil areas not subject to revegetation shall be stabilized using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the APCD. (F) Vehicle speed for all vehicles shall not exceed 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the site. (G)In the event that the excavation of materials will take place in close proximity of asphalt, street sweepers shall be used at the end of each day if soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads. (H) All trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials are to be covered or should maintain at least two feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC section 23114. Resolution No. 9622 (2004 Series) Page 4 (I) Exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked at dates greater than one month after initial grading should be sown with a fast - germinating native grass seed and watered until vegetation is established. (J) Plant shade trees along southern exposures of buildings to reduce summer cooling needs as well as planting trees on both sides of the roads to reduce the reflective radiating heat of asphalt roads. (K) Install wheel washers where vehicles enter and exit unpaved roads onto streets, or wash off trucks and equipment leaving the site. (L) Sweep streets at the end of each day if visible soil material is carried onto adjacent paved roads. Water sweepers with reclaimed water should be used where feasible. All PM mitigation measures must be included on grading and building plans. In addition,. the contractor or builder shall designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control program and to order increased watering, as necessary, to prevent transport of dust off site. Their duties shall include holidays and weekend periods when work may not be in progress. The name and telephone of such persons shall be provided to the APCD prior to land use clearance for map recordation and grading. 3. The project site is located in a Naturally Occurring Asbestos candidate area. Naturally Occurring Asbestos has been identified by the state Air Resources Board as a toxic air contaminant. Serpentine and ultramafic rocks are very common in the state and may contain naturally occurring asbestos. Under the State Air Resources Board Air Toxics Control Measure (ATCM) for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations, the applicant must comply with all requirements outlined in the Asbestos ATCM for Construction, Grading, Quarrying, and Surface Mining Operations. These requirements may include but are not limited to 1) an Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan which must be approved by the District before construction begins, and 2) an Asbestos Health and Safety Program will also be required for some projects, to the approval of the APCD. The APCD monitors State air quality requirements and will be routed plans that are submitted for building permits for the project to insure compliance with all standards and requirements. APCD also responds in the field during construction on a complaint basis. ➢ Monitoring Program: Construction phase air quality mitigation measures are monitored by the Air Pollution Control District (APCD), through a complaint based enforcement system. The requirements listed above are noted on the project plans and the City Building Inspector and Public Works Inspector for the project are instructed to contact APCD in the event of a probably violation. Members of the public can also call APCD if they are concerned about dust or other emissions from a construction site. Building permits for the project will not be issued until the APCD has "signed -off' on the applicant's Asbestos Dust Mitigation Plan and Asbestos Health and Safety Program. o 01 Resolution No. 9622 (2004 Series) Page 5 Biological Resources 4. The disruption of the wetland and creek areas will be properly mitigated by complying with the California Department of Fish and Game streambed alteration permits and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland permits. The applicants (or their successors) for the proposed project will prepare the necessary documentation/mitigation plans to obtain the permitting from these agencies. 5. Prior to final map approval and recordation, a Biological Open Space Easement Agreement shall be recorded to ensure that the riparian woodland, wetland and oak woodland resources are properly protected and managed after site development and no ornamental planting or other related disturbances occur following development, subject to the approval of the Natural Resources Manager. 6. Once a more detailed grading plan is available, a plant ecologist/restoration specialist shall prepare a landscape restoration plan for the open space easement. The plan shall survey the site for sensitive plant species as identified in the Biological Resources Assessment and Constraints Analysis prepared by Rincon Consultants Inc.; identify suitable sites for replanting the species affected, establish replanting ratios, and contain a monitoring plan to ensure the success of the replanting. Planting shall be completed as part of subdivision improvements. 7. A control fence delineating the open space easement boundary shall be installed prior to construction. A qualified biological monitor shall be present during all construction or landscaping activities scheduled to take place within the barrier, to the approval of the Natural Resources Manager. 8. Erosion control measures shall be used to ensure that no sedimentation of the creek channel occurs as a result of construction activities. 9. The Architectural Review Commission shall review the design and location of all fencing proposed adjacent to the open space easement to ensure consistency with the Creek Setback Ordinance and the Community Design Guidelines. 10. Tree #111, a T' DBH Coast Live Oak, shall be preserved and protected through means established by the International Society of Arboriculture to the satisfaction of the City Arborist. 11. All approved tree removals shall comply with all requirements contained in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits the removal of trees with active nests until such time as the young have fledged and the nest is abandoned. Resolution No. 9622 (2004 Series) Page 6 ➢ Monitoring Program: Compliance with these requirements will be monitored by the Community Development and Public Works Departments through review of the project's Biological Easement Agreement, final map requirements, daily on -site inspections by the Building and Public Works Inspectors, architectural review of the new home designs and release of building occupancy. Geology and Soils 12. Building plans and specifications for site development shall incorporate all recommendations included in the Engineering Geology Investigation and Soil Engineering Report prepared by GeoSolutions, Inc. for the project dated July 13, 2003, subject to the approval of the Chief Building Official. 9 Monitoring Program: Building permits are required for all proposed grading activities and construction of common improvements on -site. These building permits will be evaluated for compliance with the recommendations of the soils report. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 13. Prior to issuance of a building permit for any site improvements, the half buried 55- gallon drum shall be removed. by a qualified professional and disposed of at a facility able to adequately handle the container and its contents, and any contamination identified by the qualified professional shall be removed from the site and cleaned -up to meet Regional Water Quality Control Board standards. ➢ Monitoring Program: The Planning Division of the Community Development Department will review plans submitted for any building permit application and require that the applicant provide documentation that the half buried 557gallon drum has been property removed from the site, and any residual contamination cleaned -up to meet Regional Water Quality Control Board standards. Hydrology and Water Quality 14. Stormwater runoff from all improved areas of the development site, except rooftops, shall be treated in accordance with the Best Management Practices (BMPs) published in the California Stormwater Quality Association's Best Management Practice Handbook, January 2003. For the purposes of water quality design, all water quality BMPs shall be designed to treat runoff from a 25 mm/24 -Hour storm event. Monitoring Program: Building permit applications submitted for subdivision improvements and applications for Architectural Review of house designs will be reviewed by the Public Works and Community Development Departments for compliance with this requirement. i Resolution No. 9622 (2004 Series) Page 7 Noise 15. The following construction methods shall be incorporated in to the design of the buildings on lots 8, 9 & 10 to achieve a Noise Level Reduction of 25 dB for transportation related noise sources: (A)Provide air conditioning or a mechanical ventilation system, so windows and doors may remain closed. (B) Mount windows and sliding glass doors in low air infiltration rate frames (0.5 cfm or less, per ANSI specifications). (C) Provide solid -core exterior doors with perimeter weather stripping and threshold seals. (D) Cover exterior walls with stucco or brick veneer, or wood siding with 1/2" minimum thickness fiberboard ( "soundboard "). (E) Keep glass area in windows and doors below 20% of the floor area in a room. (F) Provide baffles for roof or attic vents facing the noise source. 16. A sound barrier shall be installed for lots 9 & 10 as necessary to achieve the required IOdB of outdoor noise reduction for lot 9 and 5 dB outdoor noise reduction for lot 10. The design of the noise barriers shall be reviewed and approved through the Architectural Review process as part of the design review of the homes, prior to installation, to ensure design consistency with the Community Design Guidelines. Depending on the design and location of the home and sound barrier for lot 9, a 5dB outdoor noise reduction may be achieved for lot 10, and a separate sound barrier may not be required for this lot. A continuous sound wall is the least desirable solution to address this impact. Partial walls, building placement, or other solution shall be given preference consistent with General Plan policy direction. ➢ Monitoring Program: Compliance with these requirements will be monitored through the review of detailed plans submitted for Architectural Review and Building Permit by the Community Development Department staff. Transportation/Traffic 17. Turning movements at the Johnson/Fixlini intersection are limited to right turn in and out until such time as a dedicated center turn lane is installed on the project's Johnson Avenue frontage. 18.

Since an alternate, lesser width, street section is being utilized for the project and curbside parking is not provided, a parking equivalent of one space per 25 feet of frontage, for a total of seventeen spaces, shall be provided for the project to the approval of the Public Works and Community Development Directors. Such alternate parking shall be provided within a public right -of -way, or on lots adjacent to the street, with convenient access to the street. 21. Prior to final map approval and recordation, a 10 -foot wide pedestrian access easement shall be recorded for the purpose of providing an alternative bicycle and pedestrian transportation route through the project site, subject to the approval of the Public Works Director and Natural Resources Manager. 22. Sidewalk improvements shall be installed on the easterly side of the Fixlini Street extension for lots 1, 2, 3 & 4 to properly connect the project to existing sidewalk improvements along Fixlini Street and the 10 -foot wide pedestrian access easement, subject to the approval of the Public Works Director. Monitoring Program: Building permit applications submitted for subdivision improvements will be reviewed by the Public Works and Community Development Departments for compliance with these requirements. SECTION 3. Action. The City Council does hereby approve Application TR/ER 95 -03 with incorporation of the following conditions and code requirements into the project: Conditions: Prior to final map approval, the building envelope for lot 9 shall be revised to show compliance with the R -1 zoning district street yard setback standard of 20 -feet along Johnson Avenue. 2.

Lowell City Attorney ?LO O RESOLUTION NO. 9619 (2004 Series) A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO APPROVING USE PERMIT TO ALLOW AUTO SALES AND ACCESSORY SERVICE AT 892 AEROVISTA PD -91 -04 WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on October 19, 2004 and has considered testimony of interested parties, the records of the Planning Commission hearing and action for PD 91 -04, and the evaluation and recommendation of staff; and WHEREAS, the City Council has considered the draft mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impact as prepared by staff for PD 91 -04; BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. Findings. 1. The City Council finds and determines that the proposed use, auto sales and service, will not be detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of persons working or living at the site or within the vicinity. This is because the site is surrounded by existing commercial service uses, including auto service centers, and vacant commercial property. 2. The site is adequately served by an improved highway and street system and will not increase commercial traffic within sensitive residential areas. 3. The use is consistent with the County Airport Land Use Plan since the Airport Land Use Commission voted to find the project consistent with the Land Use Plan. 4. As conditioned, the use will be consistent with the General Plan and the City's Community Design Guidelines. This is because project conditions require the use to be designed with sensitivity to the scenic corridor of Broad Street and sensitivity to adjacent commercial properties that may develop as a business park. Aesthetic concerns of the proposed development will be addressed through the City's Architectural Review Commission's review of plans for consistency with the Community Design Guidelines prior to approval. 5. All affected public facilities, services, and utilities are adequate to serve the proposed project. 6. The location, size, site planning and operating characteristics of the project are highly suited to the characteristics of the site and surrounding neighborhood, and will be compatible with the character of the site, and the land uses and development intended for the surrounding neighborhood by the General Plan. R 9619 Resolution No. 9619 (2004 Series) Page 2 7. The site is adequate for the project in terms of size, configuration topography, and other applicable features, and has appropriate access to public streets with adequate capacity to accommodate the quantity and type of traffic expected to be generated by the use. 8. The Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Planned Development amendment (PD 91 -04) adequately addresses the potential significant environmental impacts of the proposed project, and reflects the independent judgment of the Council. SECTION 2. Action. The City Council hereby approves the request (PD 91 -04) for a Use Permit to allow the establishment of auto sales and accessory service uses at 892 Aerovista, subject to the following conditions: The final design shall require review and approval by the Architectural Review Commission for consistency with the Community Design Guidelines and the Draft Airport Area Specific Plan. 2. Specific attention shall be given to the following design features for the establishment of auto sales: a) Architectural character shall strive to be responsive to the specific Airport Area and San Luis Obispo context, including factors such as history and climate. b) Building design shall be varied and distinctive, while being in harmony with its context. Repetitive and/or stock design solutions should be avoided. c) Building architecture shall respond to the area's rural agricultural heritage. d) Building offsets and articulations of the wall plane shall be used to: reduce the apparent overall building mass; create a play of shadow; provide visual interest; and maintain a sense of scale. e) Rooflines shall be varied to add character and interest to buildings. Roof forms that reference rural, agricultural building prototypes are preferred over flat roofs. 3. The use is restricted to the establishment of passenger vehicle sales and leasing only.- No RV sales, heavy trucks, or auto rental facilities shall be allowed. Auto repair and service uses may be established as an accessory use to a new automobile retail sales center. 4. Establishment of the use will be subject to applicable code requirements including, but not limited to, off site improvements, impact fees, maintenance agreements dedications, or other items necessary in order to allow the use to operate without causing detriment to City Services and the public health, safety or welfare. Code requirements will be determined at the time of review of final architectural plans. 5. Establishment of the use shall be subject to mitigation measures adopted with the approval of PD 91-04. 10 Resolution No. 9619 (2004 Series) Page 3 On motion of Council Member Settle, seconded by Council Member Mulholland, and on the following roll call vote: AYES: Council Members Ewan, Mulholland and Settle, Vice Mayor Schwartz and Mayor Romero NOES: None ABSENT: None The foregoing resolution was adopted this 19th day of October 2004.

INTRODUCTION The City of San Luis Obispo (City) has decided to approve the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and Related Master Facilities Plans (project). The City is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has certified a program environmental impact report (EIR) for the project. Section 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR]) and Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code require a lead agency to adopt findings for each significant environmental impact disclosed in an EIR. Specifically, for each significant impact, the lead agency must find that: ■ changes or alterations have been incorporated into the project to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR; ■ such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and should be adopted by that agency; or ■ specific economic, social, legal, technological, or other considerations make the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the EIR infeasible. In addition to making a finding for each significant impact, -if the lead agency approves a project without mitigating all of the significant impacts, it must prepare a statement of overriding considerations, in which it balances the benefits of the project against the unavoidable environmental risks. The statement of overriding considerations must explain the social, economic, or other reasons for approving the project despite its environmental impacts (14 CCR 15093, Pub. Res. Code 21081). This document contains the findings and statement of overriding considerations for the approval of the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and Related Master Facilities Plans and reflects the City's independent judgment. This document incorporates by reference the program EIR. The EIR, specific plans, related master facilities plans, and other portions of the administrative record are available for review at: City of San Luis Obispo Community Development Department 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Contact: Mike Draze 805/781 -7274 Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Lais Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plaits and 1 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans n EXHIBIT "A" SECTION 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Project Objectives As required by the City General Plan, each of the specific plans is intended to contain policies and standards that will facilitate appropriate development of land, protection of open space, and provision of adequate public facilities. The specific plans are more detailed than the general plan but less precise than subdivision maps or construction plans. The overall objective of the project is to adopt specific plans for the Airport and Margarita areas, pursuant to the City General Plan. Airport Area Specific Plan Objectives Airport Area Specific Plan objectives include: # identifying the infrastructure needed to provide city services to the area; # facilitating the City's eventual annexation of the Airport area; # ensuring that planned land uses are compatible with airport operations and consistent with San Luis Obispo County's Airport Land Use Plan (ALUP); # accommodating businesses identified in the City's Targeted Industry Cluster Study that provide household- supporting incomes for San Luis Obispo residents; and # establishing goals and policies for open space protection, conservation, and restoration. Margarita Area Specific Plan Objectives Margarita Area Specific Plan objectives include: # accommodating a wide range of housing types, with an emphasis on housing affordable to those working in San Luis Obispo; # protecting substantial natural habitats, including creeks, hills, wetlands, and corridors between these habitats; Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 2 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans O F . 911, M # providing convenient access for residents to employment, basic shopping, recreation, and education through both the location of land uses and the design of circulation features; # accommodating research and light manufacturing jobs that can support local households in forms compatible with airport safety and neighboring residences; # ensuring that planned land uses are compatible with airport operations; and # ensuring consistency with San Luis Obispo County's Airport Land Use Plan. Proposed Project The proposed project includes implementation of the goals and policies contained in the Airport Area Specific Plan, Margarita Area. Specific Plan, Water System Master Plan, Wastewater Master Plan Update, and Storm Drain Master Plan. Specific Plans The specific plans include the following designations: # designation of the Airport area for 3.1 hectares (7.6 acres) of Residential, 134.3 hectares (331.8 acres) of Services and Manufacturing, 44.6 hectares (1.10.1 acres) of Business Park, 124.7 hectares (308.03 acres) of Open Space, and 97.6 hectares (241.1 acres) of Government Facility, for a total Airport area of 404.1 hectares (998.6 acres); # designation of the Margarita area for 75.4 hectares (186.2 acres) of Open Space, 10.5 hectares (25.9 acres) of Parks, 28.6 hectares (70.7 acres) of Residential, 1.3 hectare (3.1 acre) of Neighborhood Commercial, 0.4 hectare (.9 acre) of Special Use, 28.0 hectares (68.8 acres) of Business Park, and 19 hectares (47 acres) of Streets, for a total Margarita area of 168.7 hectares (416.1 acres); # extension of Padro Road to Broad Street; # extension of new commercial collector connecting Tank Farm Road and Prado Road; # extension of Santa Fe Road from south of Tank Farm Road to Prado Road; # extension of Buckley Road to South Higuera Street; and Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Speck Plans and October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans 3 EXHIBIT "A" # widening of various existing roadways, including Prado Road, and Tank Farm Road. Water System Master Plan The Water System Master Plan describes improvements to the water treatment and distribution systems to meet citywide general plan development needs, including needs of the Airport area. The following is a brief summary of substantial treatment plant and facilities improvements identified in the Water System Master Plan. Recommended Treatment Plant Improvements. The recommended treatment plant improvements are as follows: # Phase I: Perform a seismic evaluation of the existing treated water storage and clearwell facilities. # Phase II: Add facilities to improve filtration rates, treatment processes, and emergency operations. # Phase III: Monitor water levels at the forebay, improve efficiency of pump motors, evaluate means to protect the water treatment plant from railroad accidents, and improve emergency standby power capacity. Recommended Distribution Improvements. The recommended distribution improvements are: # a grid of 12 -inch diameter mains: three traversing east to west and three north -south mains connecting the existing 16- and 20 -inch mains to the north (the mains will be located in the major roads); # adding a 757,000 -liter (200,000 - gallon) water tank in the Edna Saddle zone in the southwestern part of the city; and # adding a 4,542,000 -liter (1,200,000 - gallon) water tank in the Bishop zone to serve the Bishop zone. Wastewater Master Plan Update The City's Wastewater Master Plan Update addresses the city in its entirety, including the annexation areas. The plan identifies improvements to collection and treatment facilities that will be needed to provide wastewater service to future annexation areas and provides recommendations concerning citywide wastewater system facilities. The Wastewater Master Plan Update identifies the following substantial reclamation facility and system improvements: Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specifu Plans and 4 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans M. •111 -0 # replacing the Howard Johnson and Tank Farm pump stations; # installing approximately 3,790 meters (12,400 feet) of new trunk sewer mains in the Airport area; # installing 4,000 feet (1,219.2 meters) of 16 -inch discharge pipe (required at the new tank farm facility); # installing approximately 9,400 meters (30,700 feet) of new trunk sewer mains in the Margarita area; and # upgrading existing pump stations in the project area. Storm Drain Master Plan The Storm Drain Master Plan addresses the East Branch San Luis Obispo Creek watershed. This watershed includes the Airport and Margarita areas as well as areas to the east. The features of the plan would, downstream of the Airport area, limit storm drainage flows at build -out to the level estimated for existing conditions, provide 100 -year flood protection, provide for environmental enhancement of stream corridors, and provide individual onsite or sub - regional detention basins that will serve the area, rather than a single regional detention basin. Previous project improvement recommendations included parallel, minor creek modifications as needed and permitted by the governing entity to enhance flood conveyance capacity. However, the City has determined that the existing creeks have capacity to sufficiently convey floodwaters. The Storm Drain Master Plan identifies the following recommended improvements: # replacing bridges across Acacia Creek at Tank Farm Road and the East Branch of San Luis Obispo Creek at Santa Fe Road and # replacing and improving Tank Farm Creek culvert facilities at Tank Farm Road with a standard Caltrans two -span concrete slab bridge. Findings of Pact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City for the Airport Area and Margarita Area SpecUic Plans and 5 Related Facilities Master Plan n Lais Obispo October 2004 EXHIBIT "A„ SECTION 3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT The program EIR was prepared in compliance with CEQA and State CEQA Guidelines. As such, the EIR contains analysis, at a program level, of the basic issues that will be used in conjunction with subsequent tiered environmental documents for specific projects related to the Airport Area Specific Plan, the Margarita Area Specific Plan, and the related facilities master plans. Once the Airport Area Specific Plan, Margarita Area Specific Plan, and the related facilities master plans are adopted by the City, the basic policy issues will not need to be revisited by subsequent (second -tier) documents. The initial study and Notice of Preparation of the Draft EIR were circulated to appropriate public agencies, organizations, and interested groups and individuals for a 30 -day comment period that ran from May 16, 2000, to June 16, 2000. The draft EIR was released for an 80 -day public and agency review period from February 15 through May 8, 2002. A public hearing on the draft EIR was held on May 8, 2002, at the joint Planning Commission/City Council hearing rooms in the City. A final EIR, which provided responses to the written and verbal comments received during the review of the draft EIR and included revisions to the draft EIR, was prepared and made available to the public and agencies on September 19, 2003. Since September 19, 2003, additional comments were provided in writing and through public testimony; responses to these additional comments since publication of the final EIR were prepared and made part of the administrative record. SECTION 4. FINDINGS FOR SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Introduction This section presents the project's significant environmental impacts and feasible mitigation measures. Section 15091 of the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR]) and Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code require a lead agency to make findings for each significant environmental impact disclosed in an EIR. Specifically, for each significant impact, the lead agency must find that: ■ replacing changes or alterations have been incorporated into the project to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR; ■ such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and should be adopted by that agency; or ■ specific economic, social, legal, technological, or other considerations make the mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the EIR infeasible. Each of these findings must be supported by substantial evidence in the administrative record. This section identifies the following environmental impacts associated with implementation of the proposed project, as identified in the program EIR: Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 6 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans C� EXHIBIT "A" • impacts that can be fully avoided or reduced to a less - than- significant level through the incorporation of feasible mitigation measures into the project; and ■ impacts that can be reduced, but not to a less- than- significant level, through the incorporation of feasible mitigation measures into the project, and which therefore, remain significant and unavoidable. The impacts identified in this section are considered in the same sequence in which they appear in the draft EIR. Where adoption of feasible mitigation measures is not effective in avoiding an impact or reducing it to a less -than- significant level, the feasibility of adopting alternatives to the proposed project is considered in Section 5 of this document. Land Use and Aesthetics Impact LU -2: Consistency of Proposed Specific Plans with County General Plan Policy As discussed under Policy Consistency, the proposed project, which has been developed in conformance with the City General Plan, is in conflict with county policy regarding the land use designation in the Avila Ranch area immediately south of the planning area. City growth management policies establish the URL as the final edge for urban development@ (Policy 1.1) as a means of protecting agricultural and scenic rural lands. The County =s designation of the Avila Ranch, which is outside of the URL, for Industrial uses is not consistent with this concept. While this inconsistency already exists between the City and County General Plans, and is not a direct result of the proposed project, the proposed project =s failure to address the inconsistency represents a significant impact because it allows a condition that is not in conformance with its policies to protect agriculture and open space lands to persist. The proposal is consistent with the City's policies regarding land uses within the URL. The land outside the URL is under County land use jurisdiction and is subject to County plans and ordinances. The inconsistency between the City's URL policies, which call for areas outside the URL to remain open, and County general plan designations, which provide for commercial and light industrial development in some areas adjoining the URL, is a pre - existing, baseline condition. In summary, the proposed project requires mitigation to address inconsistencies with county plans and policies concerning the Airport area, which represent a significant impact. No mitigation is required for the Margarita area. Changes to County general plan designations are the responsibility of the County and are outside the City's authority. Mitigation calls for the County to reassess its approach to the areas adjoining the proposed specific plan. Reconciliation of these existing policy differences may not be possible. Nonetheless, the effort to reach reconciliation would mitigate the impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Laic Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A" Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce the Airport area impact to a less - than - significant level. Mitigation Measure LU -2.1: Resolve Discrepancy regarding Disposition of Lands Immediately South of Project Area The County shall work with the City to resolve the discrepancy regarding the disposition of lands immediately south of the project area. The County must consider whether: (1) the current land use designation for the Avila Ranch property is desired; (2) because the property has an urban designation, it should ultimately be annexed to the City; or, (3) the property should be included in the Airport area project and be subject to specific plan development standards and guidelines. These questions should be answered within two years of adoption of the Airport Area Specific Plan. Finding: Mitigation is the Responsibility of Other Agency. The City finds that the mitigation measure is the responsibility of other agencies and that the County of San Luis Obispo can and should implement this mitigation measure. Impact LU -5: Conversion of Prime Agricultural Land to Urban Uses The 1993 Land Use Element and Circulation Element Update EIR addressed the fact that annexation and development of the area in accordance with the City General Plan designations would result in the loss of agricultural resources. That loss was identified as a significant and irreversible adverse impact that could not be mitigated. Policies were incorporated into the Land Use Element to help compensate for productivity lost as a result of the conversion of agricultural lands within the urban reserve. Specifically, city policy requires direct dedication of open space areas, or payment of an in -lieu fee, for annexed land. The primary target of this exaction is to protect open space and agricultural lands outside, but especially those contiguous to, the City's URL. The concept is to create a permanent open space buffer /greenbelt around the city that prevents continued expansion of the urban area onto valuable agricultural and open space resources. For certain locations, the general plan calls for the open space protection area to be equal in size to the developed area or to be four times the size of the developed area. The ratio for the Margarita area follows from the land use designations (approximately 40% open space, excluding parks). The general plan does not set a specific ratio for the Airport area. The in -lieu fee that has been set for the so -called interim annexations probably can achieve a ratio of 1:1 on average. Based on a review of mapping of the State's Department of Conservation farmland categories, the majority of the proposed project area (347.2 hectares [858 acres], or 61 %) consists of lands with little or no agricultural value (i.e., designated by the state for Urban/Built -up or Other). Table 3A -2 shows the acreage breakdown for the project area by category. The project area has relatively limited amounts of Prime Farmland (26.3 hectares [65 Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 8 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A" acres], or 5 %) and Farmland of Local Importance (16.1 hectares [40 acres], or 3 %), and no lands designated for Farmlands of Statewide Importance or Unique Farmland. Farmland of Local Potential and Grazing Land, two categories with lower agricultural value, compose a larger percentage of the area (21% and I I %, respectively). Although past development and current use result in relatively low farmland classifications under the California Department of Conservation categories, the underlying soils types have the characteristics of prime soil, according to the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service, for most of the gently sloping part of the Margarita area and for nearly all the Airport area, excluding the Unocal property affected by the 1926 explosion. The specific plan shows urban use for approximately 12.1 hectares (30 acres) of prime farmland that is being cultivated north of Tank Farm Road. There are also cultivated lands just west of the middle of the Margarita area. The proposed project is consistent with the City General Plan, so, as anticipated in the 1993 EIR, annexation and development of the area will adversely affect agricultural resources. Altogether, the proposed project will result in the loss of approximately 14.1 hectares (35 acres) of Prime Farmland (in the northwest corner of the Airport area), and 109.2 hectares (270 acres) of Farmland of Local Potential (primarily in the Margarita area and along Broad Street). No land that has been in active cultivation in recent years will experience impacts. Agricultural lands that will be lost to development have been used primarily for grazing. The Airport Area Specific Plan's designation for Open Space in the central portion of the Airport area will protect areas of Prime Farmland and Farmlands of Local Importance that are actively cultivated. No areas under Williamson Act contracts are affected by the proposed project. In addition to the loss of farmlands within the proposed project area, the construction of the detention basin south of Buckley Road will result in the agricultural productivity being removed from 9.7 hectares (24 acres) of Prime Farmland. Although the detention basin will remain as planted open space, it will not be available for active cultivation as long as it is needed for flood control purposes. While the loss of prime agricultural land is limited, the conversion of any lands containing prime agricultural soils associated with the proposed project is considered a significant and unavoidable impact. Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Lds Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 9 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans Mitigation 0 EXHIBIT "A„ While the loss of prime agricultural soils to urban uses is irreversible and cannot be mitigated, the following mitigation is recommended to help compensate for the loss of agricultural productivity. The intent of the mitigation is to enhance the opportunities for continued agriculture in the unincorporated areas outside the City's URL. Mitigation Measure LU -5.1: Dedicate Open Space Land or Pay In -Lieu Fees to Secure Open Space Easements on Agricultural Land outside the URL at Ratio of No Less than 1:1 As a condition of annexation and development within the Airport and Margarita areas, developers shall be required to dedicate open space land or pay in -lieu fees to secure open space easements on agricultural land outside the URL at a ratio of no less than 1:1. Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation measure is feasible and has been adopted. However, the impact would not be reduced to a less - than- significant level A statement of overriding consideration for this impact is made in Section 6. Impact LU -6: Change in Views The proposed project will result in the change of character of the plan areas from a generally semi -rural setting to an urban developed setting. The issue of aesthetic impacts was reviewed during the adoption of the General Plan. The conclusion was reached within Section 9.0 of the General Plan EIR that urbanization would irreversibly change the visual character of the south end of the city from that of a low- density semi -rural area to a more intensely developed, suburban area. While substantial design standards are contained in the Airport Area Specific Plan, Margarita Area Specific Plan, and the City General Plan (including the preservation of open space, hills, and development design standards), these do not change this fundamental conclusion of the General Plan EIR. No feasible mitigation exists to eliminate the impact associated with the conversion of a semi -rural landscape to an urban landscape. The impact is considered significant and unavoidable. Mitigation No mitigation measures are feasible. Finding: No Feasible Mitigation is Available. The City finds that no feasible mitigation is available and that this impact is significant and unavoidable. A statement of overriding consideration for this impact is made in Section 6. Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 1 O October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans Impact LU -7: Potential Increase in Daytime/Nighttime Light and Glare ExHiBTT "A„ The development of the Airport and Margarita areas for urban uses will result in an increase in daytime /nighttime light and glare within the area.. These increases will be the result of new lighting at commercial, business park, and residential uses, as well as at new park facilities. Development of these sites would increase the amount of light and glare associated with development of urban uses, such as additional parking lots, building lights, and streetlights. While the types of lighting and their specific locations are not specified at this point, development proposed under this alternative would increase the amount of light into adjacent areas, including airport lands. The potential increase in light and glare is considered to be a significant impact. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce the impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure LU -7.1: Incorporate Lighting Design Standards into Margarita and Airport Area Specific Plans The City shall incorporate lighting design standards into the Margarita and Airport Area Specific Plans. The standards shall contain specific measures to limit the amount of light trespass associated with development within the project area. Specific measures shall include the use of shielding and/or directional lighting methods to ensure that spillover light does not exceed 0.5 -foot candles at adjacent property lines. Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation measure is feasible and has been adopted. Hydrology and Water Quality The program EIR previously reported in error that a significant unavoidable impact would result from constructing a dam within a watercourse in Perfumo Canyon. However, the water reservoir to be constructed would be a tank for storage purposes only in an upland area, not an impoundment of water along a natural streamway. Therefore, no significant impacts on Hydrology and Water Quality are associated with the proposed project. Biological Resources Impact BI0-1: Loss or Temporary Disturbance of Annual Grassland The Margarita area contains 93.03 hectares (229.89 acres) of annual grassland. Implementation of this portion of the project would result in the loss or temporary disturbance of annual grassland. Annual grassland is common locally and regionally; therefore, the loss of Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and I 1 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans C� EXHIBIT "A„ annual grassland is typically considered less than significant. However, large portions of the project area, including areas identified for facilities master plan improvements, have not been surveyed, and sensitive resources like seasonal wetlands and drainages, patches of valley needlegrass grassland, and populations of special- status species may be found interspersed in the annual grassland. Therefore, this impact is considered significant. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce this impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure BIO -1.1. Conduct Surveys for Wetland Resources, Sensitive Natural Communities, and Special - Status Species. Applications for subdivisions and development in grassland areas must include the result of the following surveys and studies: # surveys and mapping of special- status plants identified in Table 3C-4 of the program EIR during the appropriate identification periods; # surveys and mapping of special- status wildlife identified in Table 3C -5 of the program EIR during the appropriate seasons; # mapping and quantification of valley needlegrass grassland inclusions; # delineation and quantification of waters of the United States, including wetlands, using the Corps' 1987 wetland delineation manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987); # identification of special - status species and species of local concern as identified in the (forthcoming) Conservation Element; and # mapping and quantification of habitat loss. For areas of annual grassland that are determined to contain no special- status species, inclusions of valley needlegrass grassland, or seasonal wetland, no further mitigation is required.

Avoid and Minimize Impacts on Valley Needlegrass Grassland. After areas of valley needlegrass grassland are mapped and quantified (Mitigation Measure BI0-1.1), the following steps should be implemented in order of preference: # Avoid stands of valley needlegrass grassland whenever possible; this may be achieved by setting aside areas that contain significant stands of valley needlegrass grassland as ecological buffers or nature preserves. # Minimize impacts on valley needlegrass grassland in areas that cannot be avoided completely; this may be achieved by placing orange construction barrier fencing or stakes and flags around the perimeter of needlegrass grassland stands and by restricting the operation of heavy equipment and other construction- related activities to the outside of these exclusion zones. # Compensate for unavoidable losses of valley needlegrass grassland with replacement plantings at an alternative mitigation site. The project proponent should develop a mitigation and monitoring plan in coordination with DFG that specifies replacement ratios, success criteria, monitoring and reporting needs, and remediation measures. Replacement plantings should be placed adjacent to existing preserved stands to encourage natural regeneration, ensure future preservation, and create enhanced habitat values.

Impact BIO -13: Potential Direct Mortality or Disturbance of California Red - Legged Frogs California red - legged frogs have been observed in the creeks in the San Luis Obispo area, including Acacia Creek, the perennial stream on the eastern and southern edge of the Tank Farm. Implementing construction activities or projects in the Airport area, including the facilities master plans could require removal of riparian or marsh vegetation or disturbance of stream habitat along the South Fork of Acacia Creek or ponds and marshes in the area. This could cause direct mortality of red - legged frogs or removal of their habitat. This potential impact on the California red - legged frog is considered significant because the Airport area, and to a lesser extent the Margarita area, are within the range of the species, suitable habitat is present, and the species has been recorded in the vicinity. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce this impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure BIO -13.1.

Impact BIO -14: Potential Direct Mortality of or Indirect Impacts on Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp and California Tiger Salamanders Implementing the specific plans could result in the loss of, or disturbance to, vernal pool fairy shrimp and California tiger salamanders (if they occur in the planning area) if there are vernal pools or other suitable seasonal wetlands within 250 feet of project activities. Direct or indirect impacts on vernal pool fairy shrimp and tiger salamanders are considered significant because the species are listed under the federal ESA and a candidate for federal listing, respectively. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce this impact to a- less- than- significant level. Mitigation Measure BIO -14.1. Compensate for Direct and Indirect Impacts on Vernal Pool and Seasonal Wetland Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp and California Tiger Salamander Habitat. If vernal pool fairy shrimp or tiger salamander habitat is present and cannot be avoided, the project proponent will compensate for direct and indirect effects on the habitat. The project proponent will conduct an onsite visit with USFWS and DFG to determine whether potential vernal pools or seasonal wetlands in the Airport and Margarita areas are suitable fairy shrimp and tiger salamander habitat. If there is no suitable fairy shrimp and tiger salamander habitat, no additional mitigation is needed. If there is suitable habitat, the project proponent can assume that it is occupied and mitigate the loss of habitat, or can retain a qualified biologist to conduct USFWS protocol -level surveys and determine presence or absence. These surveys typically require two seasons Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Lais Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 20 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT 66A19 of surveys during the winter -wet season; therefore, most project proponents assume presence and mitigate the loss of fairy shrimp and tiger salamander habitat. This compensation will be achieved by implementing the following measures, as described in the programmatic agreement between USFWS and the Corps: # Create suitable fairy shrimp habitat (i.e., vernal pools or other suitable seasonal wetlands) at a 1:1 ratio or other ratio approved by the USFWS. The habitat must be created at a location approved by USFWS. # Preserve suitable fairy shrimp habitat at a 2:1 ratio or other ratio approved by the USFWS. The habitat must be preserved at a location approved by USFWS. # Before construction starts, the project proponent will obtain authorization from USFWS to take listed fairy shrimp species that would be affected by the project.

Impact BIO -17: Potential Direct Mortality of or Indirect Impacts on Southwestern Pond Turtle The southwestern pond turtle is known to occur in the tributaries of San Luis Obispo Creek, and it has been observed in riparian vegetation on the Tank Farm site (Entrix 1996). Pond turtles could occur in ponds in the Airport area; they could also nest in the grasslands there, especially at the Tank Farm. Implementing construction activities or projects in the Airport area could require removal or disturbance of riparian habitats, ponds, or grasslands, but a substantial amount of habitat would not be disturbed. This could cause short-term impacts on pond turtles in the Airport area. Depending on the year and the season, eliminating the reach of Orcutt Creek, modifying Acacia Creek (including mitigation enhancements for loss at Orcutt Creek), and developing the sports fields and Prado Road extension could have adverse impacts on pond turtles. Therefore, these potential impacts on the southwestern pond turtle are considered significant. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce this impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure BIO -17.1.

Traffic and Circulation Impact T -1: Secondary Impacts of Road Improvements The improvements necessary to achieve vehicular flow at the intersections listed above could cause secondary impacts on pedestrians and bicyclists. To avoid significant pedestrian and bicycle impacts, development projects in the Airport and Margarita Specific Plan areas shall include pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the design of the intersection and roadway improvements. Pedestrian facilities shall include sidewalks along both sides of all newly constructed streets and reconstructed streets, crosswalks at new intersections and reconstructed intersections, and pedestrian signals at all new and reconstructed signalized intersections. Bicycle facilities shall include Class II bike lanes on all new and reconstructed streets per the San Luis Obispo Bicycle Transportation Plan and the Specific Plans. Bike lanes shall be included in the widening and extension of the following streets. # South Higuera Street (Tank Farm to Buckley) # Broad Street (Buckley to Tank Farm Road) # Prado Road (Broad Street to US 101 interchange) # Santa Fe Road (Buckley to Prado road extension) The road improvements in the Margarita and Airport Area Specific Plans will result in substantial widening of roadways and intersection approaches to accommodate vehicle traffic and maintain LOS D or better. Widening of streets and intersections can result in secondary significant impacts on pedestrians and bicyclists by increasing crossing distance and introducing conflicts at intersections with multiple turning lanes unless designed properly. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce this impact to a less -than- significant level. Mitigation Measure T -1.1: Implement Design Features.

The minimum width of the median refuge shall be 1.2 meters if integral with a raised median along the entire length of the street, or 1.8 meters wide by 6 meters long if an isolated median refuge. Exceptions for this measure include locations where existing right -of -way constraints make it infeasible to widen the street for the refuge. # All signalized intersections shall be designed with pedestrian signal heads and pushbutton activation. # Intersections with exclusive right -turn lanes shall be designed to reduce the speed of right- turning vehicles and reduce the pedestrian crossing distance. The curb return radius should be 15 meters or less. Raised pedestrian refuges (porkchop islands) may be installed between exclusive right -turn lanes and through lanes on streets with crossings that exceed 22 meters, but the approach angle of the right turn shall be designed to minimize turning speed.

Air Quality Impact AIR -1: Short -Term Construction Emissions Buildout under the proposed project would involve the grading and construction of residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational structures throughout the project in the Airport Area, Margarita Area, and facilities master plan service areas. All phases of site preparation and building construction would produce construction emissions. The most emissions would be generated during the initial phases of site preparation when large areas of soil would be disturbed and many large construction vehicles would be in operation. Emissions occurring during this phase would consist primarily of particulates generated by soil disturbance and combustion emissions generated by construction vehicles. The rate of particulate generation is dependent upon soil moisture and silt content, wind speed, and relative activity level. Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specoc Plans and 24 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plain EXHIBIT "A" The combustion emissions generated by construction vehicles and equipment may degrade local air quality and cause exceedances of the state nitrogen dioxide standard. In addition, emissions of ozone precursors (NO, and ROG) would exacerbate existing high ozone levels in the County. The magnitude of combustion emissions is highly variable among construction sites because of the variability in the number of construction vehicles operating simultaneously. While the total acreage to be developed under buildout of the proposed project could be estimated, the phasing of individual development projects is not known. Consequently, the impact of construction emissions on regional or local air quality cannot be quantified with any accuracy. The construction emissions of each specific development project must be evaluated individually and cumulatively to determine the magnitude of impacts to regional and local air quality. This impact is considered significant Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce the impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure AIR -1.1. Implement Construction- Related Combustion Emissions Mitigation. NO,, emissions will be the controlling factor in determining the application of control strategies for construction - related, combustion - related emissions. Any project requiring grading of >1,950 cubic yards /day or >50,000 cubic yards within a 3 -month period will need to apply Best Available Control Technology for construction equipment combustion controls. Projects requiring >125,000 cubic yards of grading in a 3 -month period will need to apply CBACT plus offsets and/or other mitigation. Examples of CBACT can be found in the San Luis Obispo APCD CEQA Air Quality Handbook. If impacts are still significant after application of CBACT, the following additional measures shall be implemented as necessary: # use Caterpillar pre - chamber diesel engines (or equivalent), properly maintained and operated to reduce emissions of NO,,; # use electrically powered equipment where feasible; # maintain equipment in tune per manufacturer's specifications, except as otherwise required above; # install catalytic converters on gasoline - powered equipment; # substitute gasoline - powered equipment for diesel - powered equipment, where feasible; # implement activity management techniques as described below; and Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Lads Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and ,Z5 October 2(X14 Related Facilities Master Plans C � EXHIBIT "A" # use compressed natural gas or propane - powered portable equipment (e.g., compressors, generators, etc.) onsite instead of diesel - powered equipment, where feasible. Mitigation Measure AIR -1.2. Implement Construction - Related Fugitive Dust (PM10) Mitigation Any project with a grading area greater than 1.6 hectares (4.0 acres) of continuously worked area will exceed the 2.5 ton PM10 quarterly threshold and will require the following mitigation measures where applicable. Proper implementation of these measures shall be assumed to achieve a 50% reduction in fugitive dust emissions. The use of soil binders on completed cut - and -fill areas has the potential to reduce fugitive dust emissions by 80 %. # Reduce the amount of the disturbed area where possible. # Use water trucks or sprinkler systems in sufficient quantities to prevent airborne dust from leaving the site; increased watering frequency would be required whenever wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour (mph); reclaimed (nonpotable) water should be used whenever possible. # Spray all dirt stockpile areas daily as needed. # Implement permanent dust control measures identified in the approved project revegetation and landscape plans as soon as possible following completion of any soil- disturbing activities. # Sow exposed ground areas that are planned to be reworked at dates occurring 1 month after initial grading with a quickly germinating native grass seed and water until vegetation is established. # Stabilize all disturbed soil areas that are not subject to revegetation using approved chemical soil binders, jute netting, or other methods approved in advance by the APCD. # Complete paving of all roadways, driveways, sidewalks, etc. that are to be paved as soon as possible; lay building pads as soon as possible after grading unless seeding or soil binders are used. # Limit vehicle speeds for all construction vehicles to a maximum of 15 mph on any unpaved surface at the construction site.. # Cover all trucks hauling dirt, sand, soil, or other loose materials or maintain at least 2 feet of freeboard (minimum vertical distance between top of load and top of trailer) in accordance with CVC Section 23114; this measure has the potential to reduce PM10 emissions by 7B14 %.

All PM10 mitigation measures required should be shown on grading and building plans. In addition, the contractor or builder should designate a person or persons to monitor the dust control program and to order increased watering, as necessary, to prevent transport of dust offsite. Their duties shall include holidays and weekend periods when work may not be in progress. The name and telephone number of such persons shall be provided to the APCD prior to land use clearance for map recordation and land use clearance for finish grading of the structure. Mitigation Measure AIR -13.

Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation is feasible and has been adopted. Impact AIR -2: Long -Term Operation Emissions Long -term air quality impacts would result primarily from ongoing emissions generated by the operation of motor vehicles and by natural gas combustion and electricity consumption. The land uses proposed in the project would generate new vehicle trips in the air basin. Vehicle emissions were estimated using the ARB =s URBEMIS7G model. The increase in vehicle emissions associated with buildout of the project for each land use is presented in Table 3E-4-in the program EIR under transportation emissions. Development of the land uses in the project would increase the demand for electricity and natural gas for space and water heating. Electricity consumption would generate emissions from fuel combustion at powerplants. Natural Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis 0 for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and ,L,'. October Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A„ gas combustion would also generate emissions directly. Emissions were estimated using URBEMIS7G and are listed in Table 3E-4 of the program EIR under area sources. Consistency with the District =s CAP. As indicated in the APCD CEQA Air Quality Handbook, a consistency analysis is required in the environmental review for projects that involve a proposed project. The consistency analysis must evaluate the following questions: 1. Are the population projections used in the plan or project equal to or less than those used in the most recent CAP for the same area? 2. Is the rate of increase in vehicle trips and miles traveled less than or equal to the rate of population growth for the same area? 3. Have all applicable land use and transportation control measures from the CAP been included in the plan or project to the maximum extent feasible? Provided that the answer to all three of these questions is yes, the project is to be considered consistent with the CAP. If the answer to any one of the questions is no, then the emissions reductions projected in the CAP may not be achieved, which could delay or preclude attainment of the state ozone standard. This would be considered inconsistent with the CAP. The following paragraphs evaluate the proposed project based on the questions presented above. 1. Are the population projections used in the plan or project equal to or less than those used in the most recent CAP for the same area? The CAP includes population figures for incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County for 1990, as well as population projections up to year 2010. The CAP projects that the population of the San Luis Obispo area will be 49,228 in the year 2010. The proposed project uses the population projections in the San Luis Obispo General Plan and, according to the most recent plan, the population projection for the year 2010 is also 49,228. As such, the proposed project would be consistent with the population projections in the CAP. 2. Is the rate of increase in vehicle trips and miles traveled less than or equal to the rate of population growth for the same area? Due mainly to the additional employment generated in the area (more than anticipated by the 1994 Land Use and Circulation Elements update), VMT is expected to increase faster than population in the area. Over the anticipated buildout period for the area, a gradual shift to vehicles with lower emissions is expected to at least partially offset air quality impacts of increased VMT. However, rapid commercial and industrial development in the early years could exceed this compensating reduction. 3. Have all applicable land use and transportation control measures from the CAP been included in the plan or project to the maximum extent feasible? Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific. Plans and ,Z8 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans 1 I I —J EXHIBIT "A" Under the San Luis Obispo Area Plan, the goals for land use were to plan compact communities, provide for mixed land use, and balance jobs and housing. The proposed project incorporated these goals from the Area Plan, which was also identified in the CAP aim to reduce the number of VMT by local residents. For example, the Margarita Area Specific Plan would allow the development of a wide variety of land uses including Residential, Park, Neighborhood Commercial, Business Parks, and Elementary School. These land uses would provide residents with convenient access to employment, basic shopping, recreation, and education through both the locations of land uses and the design of circulation features. Based on these considerations, the proposed project would be consistent with the CAP and is not expected to further delay the attainment of state and federal air quality standards within the County. Therefore, this impact is considered to be less than significant. Mitigation Mitigation Measure AIR -2.1. Implement Growth- Phasing Schedule. The City will implement a growth- phasing schedule for the Airport area, to assure that nonresidential development in the urban area does not exceed the pace of residential development. Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation measure is feasible and has been adopted. Noise No significant impacts associated with Noise were identified in the program EIR for the proposed project. Hazardous Materials Impact HAZ -1: Potential Construction - Related Exposure to Hazardous Materials Construction - related activities associated with specific projects in the Airport and Margarita areas and development of roadway /utility infrastructure associated with the facility master plans would involve the use of materials that could contaminate nearby soils and water resources in the project area (e.g., petroleum -based fuels and oils, solvents, cement). Additionally, construction workers and other people could be exposed to dust or emissions containing these materials. Construction workers could also be exposed to organic pesticides, herbicides, and other hazardous materials during groundbreaking activities. Groundwater may also occur near the surface along buried infrastructure alignments. Trenches or tunnels may encounter groundwater, which may require dewatering for pipe Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 29 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans O EXHIBIT "A„ placement. Contaminated water encountered during construction- related activities may also require special handling and disposal procedures. While known and potential hazardous materiaWwaste sites have been identified in the Airport area,.the potential also exists to expose construction workers to previously undiscovered hazardous materials /waste sites during development of the Margarita area. Because construction- related activities could substantially increase the use of hazardous materials and increase the risk of exposure to hazardous materials in the project area, this impact is considered significant. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measures would reduce this impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure HAZ -1.1. Implement a Construction - Related Hazardous Materials Management Plan. Before beginning construction activities, a project proponent will submit a hazardous materials management plan for construction activities that involve hazardous materials. The plan will discuss proper handling and disposal of materials used or produced onsite, such as petroleum products, concrete, and sanitary waste. The plan will also outline a specific protocol to identify health risks associated with the presence of chemical compounds in the soil and/or groundwater and identify specific protective measures to be followed by the workers entering the work area. If the presence of hazardous materials is suspected or encountered during construction- related activities, the project proponent will implement Mitigation Measure HAZ -1.2. Mitigation Measure HAZ -1.2. Conduct Phase I and Possibly Phase 1I Environmental Site Assessments to Determine Soil or Groundwater Contamination. The project proponent will complete a Phase I environmental site assessment for each proposed public facility (e.g., streets and buried infrastructure). If Phase I site assessments indicate a potential for soil and/or groundwater contamination within or adjacent to the road or utility alignments, a Phase II site assessment will be completed. The following Phase II environmental site assessments will be prepared specific to soil and/or groundwater contamination. # Soil Contamination. For soil contamination, the Phase II site assessment will include soil sampling and analysis for anticipated contaminating substances. If soil contamination is exposed during construction, the San Luis Obispo Fire Department ( SLOFD) will be notified and a workplan to characterize and possibly remove contaminated soil will be prepared, submitted, and approved. # Groundwater Contamination. For groundwater contamination, the Phase II assessment may include monitoring well installation, groundwater sampling, and analysis for anticipated contaminating substances. If groundwater contaminated by potentially hazardous materials is expected to be extracted during dewatering, the SLOFD and the Central Coast RWQCB will be notified._ A contingency plan to Findings of Fact and statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 30 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A" dispose of contaminated groundwater will be developed in agreement with the SLOFD and Central Coast RWQCB before activities. Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation is feasible and has been adopted. Impact HAZ -2: Potential Operations- Related Exposure to Hazardous Materials Implementation of the proposed project would include the development of manufacturing and business park land uses in the Airport area and the development of business park land uses in the Margarita area. Operations at the sites could involve the delivery, use, manufacture, and storage of various chemicals necessary to perform manufacturing and business park activities. Operations- related activities within both the Airport and Margarita areas could substantially increase the use of hazardous materials and increase the risk of exposure to hazardous materials in the project area. Development of the specific roadway and utility infrastructure improvements outlined in the facility master plans would not generate a substantial amount of operations - related hazardous materials. Because operations- related activities could substantially increase the use of hazardous materials and increase the risk of exposure to hazardous materials in the project area, this impact is considered significant. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce this impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure HAZ -2.1. Implement an Operations - Related Hazardous Materials Management Plan. The project proponent will ensure that a hazardous materials management plan for operations - related activities is established and addresses the delivery, use, manufacture, and storage of various chemicals. The plan will identify the proper handling and disposal of materials used or produced onsite, such as petroleum products, concrete, and sanitary waste. In addition, the SLOFD will conduct routine fire and life - safety inspections to determine compliance with applicable health and safety codes. Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation measure is feasible and has been adopted.

The proposed buried infrastructure may cross several drainages, and construction- related activities would involve the use of hazardous materials (e.g., oils, grease, lubricants) that could accidentally be released into local waterways. Water quality impacts would largely be determined by the duration and seasonality of construction- related activities. Specific areas of concern in the Airport area include San Luis Obispo Creek, Orcutt Creek, and Davenport Creek. Areas of concern in the Margarita area include Acacia Creek. Although construction- related activities occurring during the dry season would have less potential to flush hazardous materials into a stream or drainage, low summer flows are less able to dilute hazardous materials entering the water column. Because construction - related activities would substantially increase the use of hazardous materials and increase the risk of accidental release of hazardous materials into project -area drainages, this impact is considered significant. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce this impact to a less- than - significant level. Mitigation Measure HAZ -1.1. Implement a Construction- Related Hazardous Materials Management Plan. This mitigation measure is described above. Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation measure is feasible and has been adopted. Public Services and Utilities No significant impacts associated with public services or utilities were identified in the program EIR for the proposed project. Cultural Resources Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific. Plans and 32 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A„ Impact CR -1: Potential Damage to or Destruction of Known and/or Unknown Cultural Resources Different types of cultural resources throughout the planning areas could be affected by activities proposed within the Airport and Margarita areas and the related facility master plan areas. For example, archaeological sites are susceptible to damage during excavation. Generally, the scientific value of archaeological sites is in the information that can be extracted about past lifestyles. Any activity that moves, removes, or destroys aspects of a site will compromise that information. The historic built environment and historic landscape are also quite susceptible to impacts associated with activities proposed under the specific plans. For example, any activity that destroys or alters the physical makeup of structures or the setting in which they exist, including, but not limited to, the construction of new structures, will compromise the integrity of these resources. Previous cultural resource field surveys have identified a wooden barn in the Airport area and a cluster of four stone mortars in the Margarita area. Although individual projects have not been proposed, resources associated with these findings may be adversely affected by individual projects. Impacts on these cultural resources could result from ground disturbance associated with infrastructure development and construction of new structures, roads, and underground utilities. Implementation of the proposed project would entail reuse of the area for residential, service and manufacturing, commercial, office, public, open space, recreational, infrastructure, and underground utilities. Ground disturbance associated with infrastructure development and construction of new structures, access roads, and underground utilities could have an impact on known or unknown cultural resources; therefore, this impact is considered significant. Mitigation Implementation of the following mitigation measure would reduce this impact to a less - than- significant level. Mitigation Measure CR -1.1. Protect Known and/or Unknown Cultural Resources. The City will ensure that the project proponent implements the following measures before and during development of specific projects proposed under the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and the related facility master plans. Specific measures include the following: # Conduct Surveys of Unsurveyed Areas. Before implementing project activities, pedestrian surveys will be conducted to locate and record cultural resources. # Evaluate Resources within the Project Areas. Resources in the planning areas that cannot be avoided will be evaluated. Additional research and test excavations, where appropriate, will be undertaken to determine whether the resource(s) meets CEQA or NRHP significance criteria. Impacts on significant resources that cannot be avoided Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Lais Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 33 October 2004 Related Facilities. Master Plans 0 O EXHIBIT "A„ will be mitigated in consultation with the lead agency for the project. Possible mitigation measures include: - a data recovery program consisting of archaeological excavation to retrieve the important data from archaeological sites; - development and implementation of public interpretation plans for both prehistoric and historic sites; - preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, or reconstruction of historic structures according to the Secretary of Interior Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties; - construction of new structures in a manner consistent with the historic character of the region; and - treatment of historic landscapes according to the Secretary of Interior Standards for Treatment of Historic Landscapes. If the project involves a federal agency, and is therefore subject to a Memorandum of Agreement, the inventory, evaluation, and treatment processes will be coordinated with that federal agency to ensure that the work conducted will also comply with Section 106 of the NHPA. Finding: Mitigation Has Been Incorporated into the Project. The City finds that the mitigation measure is feasible and has been adopted. Cumulative Impacts Because of the program -level nature of the project, cumulative impacts are considered in each of the sections of Chapter 3 of the program EIR (and the project's significant impacts are discussed above for each resource topic listed). The project directly implements policies and plans adopted by the City, including the City General Plan. This EIR analysis uses the projection approach to cumulative impact analysis, supplemented by the policies contained in the proposed Airport Area Specific Plan and Margarita Area Specific Plan. The projection approach to cumulative impact analysis involves considering the project effects in light of the effects summarized in an adopted general plan or related planning document that is designed to evaluate regional or areawide conditions@ (State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15130[b][1][B].) The analysis is based on the assumption that the cumulative impacts analysis of the general plan EIR provides an appropriate and adequate base for analysis of future development and cumulative impacts associated with the proposed project. In certain instances, the Airport Area Specific Plan and Margarita Area Specific Plan propose changes to what is currently identified in the adopted general plan. Where there are conflicts between the adopted general plan and the proposed specific plans, policies are proposed in the form of mitigation to reduce cumulative impacts.

Except for the two impacts listed below, the City finds that the mitigation measures proposed above are feasible and have been adopted to reduce the cumulative impacts. Finding: No Feasible Mitigation is Available. The City finds that no feasible mitigation is available for the following cumulative impacts and that these cumulative impacts are significant and unavoidable: Impact LU -5: Conversion of Prime Agricultural Land to Urban Uses Impact LU -6: Change in Views A statement of overriding consideration for these impacts is made in Section 6. Growth Inducement Impact: Increased Growth and Additional Secondary Growth - Related Impacts The project will result in the potential future development of the Airport and Margarita areas for residential, commercial, industrial, park, and open space uses. This includes the use of approximately 357.9 hectares (884.4 acres) for urban uses, including development of approximately 868 residential units for approximately 2,015 people. However, the project directly implements policies and plans adopted by the City, including the City General Plan. The growth- inducement analysis is based on the assumption that the growth- inducing impacts analysis of the City General Plan EIR provides an appropriate and adequate base for analysis of future development and growth- inducing impacts associated with the proposed project. landscape. The impact is considered significant and unavoidable. Mitigation Implementation of the adopted policies in the City =s general plan and mitigation measures in the General Plan EIR (aimed at reducing the secondary effects of growth), combined with implementation of the mitigation measures identified in Chapter 3 of the program EIR and the policies contained in the Airport Area Specific Plan and Margarita Area Specific Plan will reduce the secondary effects of growth associated with the proposed adoption of these specific plans and related facilities master plans. However, these impacts would not be reduced to less - than- significant levels. The project would have a significant and unavoidable growth- inducing impact. Short of denying the project, there is no feasible mitigation. Finding: No Feasible Mitigation is Available. The City finds that no feasible mitigation is available and that this impact is significant and unavoidable. A statement of overriding consideration for this impact is made in Section 6. Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 35 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A SECTION 5. FINDINGS FOR ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT Introduction As identified in Section 4 of this document, the proposed project will cause the following significant and unavoidable environmental impacts to occur: ■ Impact LU -5: Conversion of Prime Agricultural Land to Urban Uses in the Airport and Margarita areas and the Storm Drain Master Plan area. ■ Impact LU -6: Change in Views from a semi -rural landscape to an urban landscape in the Airport and Margarita areas. ■ Growth Inducement: The project would have a significant and unavoidable growth- inducing impact. Because the proposed project will cause significant and unavoidable environmental impacts to occur as identified above, the City must consider the feasibility of any environmentally superior alternatives to the project, as proposed. The City must evaluate whether one or more of these alternatives could substantially lessen or avoid the unavoidable significant environmental effects. As such, the environmentally superiority and feasibility of each alternative to the project is considered in this section. Specifically, this section evaluates the effectiveness of these alternatives in reducing the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project. Description of the Alternatives The program EIR for the project evaluates the following four alternatives to the project. Alternative 1 Under Alternative 1, the southerly boundary of the Airport Area Specific Plan is moved northerly. The airport is excluded from the Plan area. Additionally, land to the south and west of the airport is excluded from the plan area. The total Airport Plan area is reduced by 140.3 hectares (346.6 acres). In addition to changes in the plan area boundary, the distribution of land uses within the plan area is modified as shown in Table 5 -1 and Figure 2-4 of the program EIR and outlined below. The boundaries of the Margarita Area Specific Plan remain largely unchanged. However, the land uses within the plan area are modified as shown in Table 5 -2 of the program EIR and shown below: # designation of the Airport Area for 3.1 hectares (7.6 acres) of Medium- Density Residential, 136.1 hectares (336.4 acres) of Services and Manufacturing, 20.8 hectares (51.4 acres) of Business Park, and 103.8 hectares (256.6 acres) of Recreation and Open Space for a total Airport Area of 263.8 hectares (652.0) acres; Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 36 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A„ # designation of the Margarita Area for 71.1 hectares (175.6 acres) of Open Space, 10.9 hectares (26.9 acres) of parks, 40.4 hectares (99.8 acres) of Residential, 0.60 hectare (1.5 acres) of Neighborhood Commercial, 0.40 hectare (1.0 acre) of Special Use, 17.5 hectares (43.2 acres) of Business Park, and 27.7 hectares (68.4 acres) of Streets for a total Margarita Area of 168.6 hectares (416.4 acres); # extension of Prado Road to Madonna Road; # extension of Prado Road to Broad Street; # construction of a roadway connection between Los Osos Valley Road and Prado Road; and # extension of Buckley Road to South Higuera Street. Alternative 2 Under Alternative 2 the southerly boundary of the Airport Area Specific Plan is moved slightly south at the Airport to correspond to County Land Use designation boundaries. The airport is excluded from the Plan area. The total Airport Plan area is reduced by 39.0 hectares (96.3 acres). In addition to changes in the plan area boundary, the distribution of land uses within the plan area is modified as shown in Table 5 -3 and Figure 2 -5 of the program EIR and summarized below. No change is made to the land uses or boundaries of the Margarita Area Specific Plan. # designation of the Airport Area for 3.1 hectares (7.6 acres) of Medium - Density Residential, 204.0 hectares (504.2 acres) of Services and Manufacturing, 29.3 hectares (72.4 acres) of Business Park, 120.3 hectares (297.3 acres) of Recreation and Open Space, and 8.4 hectares (20.8 acres) for Agriculture and Open Space for a total Airport Area of 365.1 hectares (902.3 acres); # designation of the Margarita Area for 68.4 hectares (169.0 acres) of Open Space, 22.6 hectares (55.7 acres) of parks, 30.3 hectares (74.9 acres) of Residential, 0.9 hectare (2.1 acres) of Neighborhood Commercial, 0.40 hectare (1.0 acre) of Special Use, 27.9 hectares (68.8 acres) of Business Park, and 19 hectares (47 acres) of Streets for a total Margarita Area of 169.4 hectares (418.5 acres); # extension of Prado Road to Madonna Road; # extension of Prado Road (in the Margarita area) to Broad Street; # extension of Prado Road to Tank Farm Road; and Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 37 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans `D EXHIBIT "A„ # extension of Buckley Road to South Higuera Street. Alternative 3 Under Alternative 3, the southerly boundary of the Airport Area Specific Plan is moved south along the length of the southerly boundary to correspond to County Land Use designation boundaries. The airport is excluded from the Plan area. The total Airport Plan area is increased by 70.5 hectares (174.1 acres). In addition to changes in the plan area boundary, the distribution of land uses within the plan area is modified as shown in Table 5 -4 and Figure 2 -6 of the program EIR and summarized below. No change is made to the land uses or boundaries of the Margarita Area Specific Plan. # designation of the Airport Area for 3.1 hectares (7.6 acres) of Medium - Density Residential, 140.5 hectares (347.2 acres) of Services and Manufacturing, 132.0 hectares (326.1 acres) of Business Park, 117.6 hectares (290.6 acres) of Recreation and Open Space, and 81.4 hectares (201.2 acres) for Agriculture and Open Space for a total Airport Area of 474.6 hectares (1,172.7 acres); # designation of the Margarita Area for 68.4 hectares (169.0 acres) of Open Space, 22.6 hectares (55.7 acres) of parks, 30.3 hectares (74.9 acres) of Residential, 0.9 hectare (2.1 acres) of Neighborhood Commercial, 0.40 hectare (1.0 acre) of Special Use, 27.9 hectares (68.8 acres) of Business Park, and 19 hectares (47 acres) of Streets for a total Margarita Area of 169.4 hectares (418.5 acres); # extension of Prado Road to Madonna Road; # extension of Prado Road (in the Margarita area) to Broad Street; # construction of a roadway connection between Los Osos Valley Road and Prado Road; # extension of Los Osos Valley Road from South Higuera Street to Broad Street; and # extension of Buckley Road to South Higuera Street. Alternative 4: No- Project As required by CEQA, this EIR evaluates the environmental consequences of not proceeding with the project. Under this alternative, no specific plans or facility plans are adopted for the Airport and Margarita Areas. The City General Plan would not allow urban development within the Airport and Margarita Areas until adoption of specific plans. As such, no further subdivision or urban development would be expected within the specific plan areas. Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plaits and 38 October 2004 Related Facilities Master Puns i E)CH BIT "A" The No- Project Alternative would not accomplish the City =s fundamental goal of implementing the General Plan. The City evaluated the concept of not developing the Airport and Margarita Areas for urban uses during the General Plan and General Plan EIR processes and consideration of no further development is considered to be adequately addressed within these documents. Effectiveness of Alternatives in Avoiding Project Impacts This section evaluates the effectiveness of the alternatives in reducing the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed project. Impact LU -5: Conversion of Prime Agricultural Land to Urban Uses Although Alternative 1 would result in fewer total acres of land converted, none of the reduced acreage is prime farmland. Therefore, the. impact would remain significant and unavoidable under Alternative 1. Alternatives 2, 3, and the No- Project Alternative would avoid the conversion of prime farmland. Therefore, under Alternatives 2, 3, and 4, the significant unavoidable impact of conversion of prime farmland could be avoided. However, Alternatives 2 and 3 are not consistent with the City's current urban reserve and greenbelt and Alternative 3 is not consistent with current water, wastewater, and stormwater collection and distribution plans. Furthermore, Alternative 4 would not comply with the City or County's general plan. Impact LU -6: Change in Views Alternatives 1, 2, and 3 would result in the same significant unavoidable changes in views from a semi -rural landscape to an urban landscape in the Airport and Margarita areas as the proposed project; development would still occur under these alternatives as under the project. Under the No- Project Alternative, the General Plan would not allow urban development within the Airport and Margarita Areas until adoption of specific plans. As such, no further subdivision or urban development would be expected within the specific plan areas. Implementation of this alternative would, therefore, eliminate this significant unavoidable impact. However, Alternative 4 would not comply with the City or County's general plan. Impact: Increased Growth and Additional Secondary Growth - Related Impacts With the exception of the No- Project Alternative, the alternatives to the project would result in essentially the same significant unavoidable growth inducement impacts associated with the proposed project. Under the No- Project Alternative, the General Plan would not allow urban development within the Airport and Margarita Areas until adoption of specific plans. As such, no further subdivision or urban_ development would be expected within the specific plan areas. Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Luis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and October 2004 Related Facilities Master Plans 39 0 EXHIBIT "A" Implementation of this alternative would, therefore, eliminate this significant unavoidable impact. However, Alternative 4 would not comply with the City or County's general plan. Environmentally Superior Alternative and Feasibility of Project Alternatives As described above, Alternatives 2, 3, and 4 (No- Project Alternative) would avoid the significant unavoidable prime farmland conversion impact of the proposed project and Alternative 4 would avoid all three significant unavoidable impacts caused by the project. As such, this section determines whether Alternatives, 2, 3, or 4 are environmentally superior to the proposed project, and if so, whether they are feasible. Finding: The Proposed Project is Environmentally Superior to Alternative 2 Alternative 2 would avoid the significant unavoidable prime farmland conversion impact of the proposed project but would not substantially lessen the other environmental impacts of the project. Moreover, this alternative would result in additional significant and unavoidable impacts associated with expansion beyond its current urban reserve, would not maintain an open space greenbelt around the City, and would result in unacceptable levels of service at the Prado Road/South Higuera Street intersection. Therefore, this alternative is not environmentally superior to the project and the City need not make a feasibility determination of the alternative. Finding: The Proposed Project is Environmentally Superior to Alternative 3 Similar to Alternative 2, Alternative 3 would avoid the significant unavoidable prime farmland conversion impact of the proposed project. However, as described above for Alternative 2, this alternative would result in additional significant and unavoidable impacts associated with expansion beyond its current urban reserve, would not maintain an open space greenbelt around the City, and would result in unacceptable levels of service at the Prado Road/South Higuera Street intersection, the Tank Farm Road/Broad Street intersection, and the Los Osos Valley Road/US 101 northbound ramps. Therefore, this alternative is not environmentally superior to the project and the City need not make a feasibility determination of the alternative. Finding: Infeasible to Adopt No- Project Alternative (Alternative 4) The No- Project Alternative is the only alternative that could avoid all of the significant unavoidable impacts of the project and would not introduce new significant and unavoidable impacts. However, the No- Project Alternative does not comply with the designated land uses for the project area of either the City of County. The No- Project Alternative would not accomplish the City's fundamental goal of implementing the General Plan. Moreover, the No- Project Alternative fails to meet the City's basic objectives for the project, and thus is infeasible as a means in of satisfying those objectives. The City, therefore, finds this alternative to be infeasible to implement.

STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS Introduction The program EIR for the project identifies the following significant and unavoidable impacts of the project: ■ Impact LU -5: Conversion of Prime Agricultural Land to Urban Uses ■ Impact LU -6: Change in Views ■ Growth Inducement: The project would have a significant and unavoidable growth - inducing impact. For projects which would result in significant environmental impacts that cannot be avoided, CEQA requires that the lead agency balance the benefits of these projects against the unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to approve the projects. If the benefits of these projects outweigh the unavoidable impacts, those impacts may be considered acceptable (CEQA Guidelines Section 15093[a]). CEQA requires that, before adopting such projects, the public agency adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations setting forth the reasons why the agency finds that the benefits of the project outweigh the significant environmental effects caused by the project. This statement is provided below. Required Findings The City has incorporated all feasible mitigation measures into the project. Although these measures will significantly lessen the unavoidable impacts listed above, the measures will not fully avoid these impacts. The City has also examined a reasonable range of alternatives to the project. Based on this assessment, the City has determined that none of these alternatives is environmentally superior or more feasible than the project. Alternative 1 would result in essentially the same impacts as the project. Alternatives 2 and 3 would avoid the significant unavoidable prime farmland conversion impact of the project. However, Alternatives 2 and 3 would result in additional significant and unavoidable impacts on land use and traffic that can be avoided by implementing the project. Alternative 4 (No- Project Alternative) would avoid many of the significant impacts of the project, but is not considered feasible. In preparing this statement of Overriding Considerations, the City has balanced the benefits of the proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks. For the reasons Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations City of San Leis Obispo for the Airport Area and Margarita Area Specific Plans and 41 October 2000 Related Facilities Master Plans EXHIBIT "A" specified below, the City finds that the following considerations outweigh the proposed project's unavoidable environmental risks: ■ Provision of new jobs: The project would involve the construction of approximately 868 residential units for and create new construction and permanent jobs in the project area. These new jobs would be a benefit to the local economy. ■ Provision of additional housing: The project would involve the construction of approximately 868 residential units for approximately 2,015 people in an area currently in need of additional housing. These new homes would provide housing to existing and future employees in the region. ■ Provision of adequate public facilities for the region: The master facilities plans for the project will ensure that there are no shoftfalls for water supply and distribution facilities, stormdrain, and wastewater facilities. ■ Creation of open space protection: Implementation of the project would result in the creation of open space protection, conservation, and restoration policies and the designation of 494 acres of open space and recreation in the project area.. The land use designation, together with the policies, will ensure that areas in the vicinity of the City are reserved for future residents' recreational use and aesthetic benefits. Accordingly, the City finds that the project's adverse, unavoidable environmental impacts are outweighed by these considerable benefits.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo as follows: SECTION 1. The Community Design Guidelines are hereby amended, as further described in Exhibit A. SECTION 2. The City Council has determined that this action is ministerial, as it consists of policy implementation and does not constitute a "project" under Section 21065 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Consequently, this action is exempt under CEQA Section 15268 and is not subject to environmental review requirements.

Mayor David F. Romero ATTEST: 9, Audrey Ho er City ClerMj APPROVED AS TO FORM: fQnqthf P. Lowell City Attorney EXHIBIT A COMMUNITY DESIGN GUIDELINES AMENDMENT Revise Chapter 1.2 — "Applicability of the Design Review Process" to read as follows: When is Design Review Required? Design review is required for all new development projects, except single family homes and small residential development projects, as described below. Single family homes are required to have design review in the specific instances listed below. Some changes to existing buildings and site development are considered "aesthetically insignificant" and can be reviewed by a planner at the counter. Other minor projects can be handled by a streamlined application process known as minor or incidental review. A. Single Family homes. Plans for a single family home need design review when: 1. Required for a parcel as a condition of approval of a subdivision, use permit, or other discretionary entitlement; 2. A single applicant proposes to build three or more homes in the same area which do not meet the definition of a "small residential development project"; 3. The location is a "sensitive site" (see subsection E below); 4. The scale or character of the proposed dwelling contrasts significantly with adjacent or neighboring structures; 5. A required covered parking space is converted to another use and replacement parking is proposed. B. Small Residential Development Projects. The construction, rehabilitation, or remodeling of up to four dwellings is exempt from design review, provided that the gross floor area of individual dwellings does not exceed 1,200 square feet. The Community Development Director may require minor or incidental architectural review where necessary to achieve the intent of these guidelines. C. Aesthetically insignificant projects. The Community Development Director may determine that a new small structure, or a change or addition to an existing building or other site feature, will not conflict with the objectives of design review due to its size, location, form, materials, or colors. This determination will be noted in the building permit file, if one exists, or in the site address file. D. Minor or incidental projects. The Community Development Director may determine that a project such as sign, building addition or remodel, is minor or incidental to a larger, previously approved project. Plans for projects which an applicant believes are minor or incidental are submitted for staff review, along with a design review application and fee. The Director will decide within about 10 days if the project is required to be reviewed by the Architectural Review Commission (ARC). The Director's action may be appealed to the ARC. E. Sensitive sites. The Community Development Director, Planning Commission or City Council may require design review on certain "sensitive sites." A project site is considered sensitive when: 1. It has been designated through an "S ", Special Consideration, overlay zone, use permit, or a condition of a tentative parcel or subdivision map as a site with special development concerns; 2. It is located adjacent to Laguna Lake, a creek, or designated sensitive hillside; 3. It is a property included on the City's Inventory of Historical Resources, or is near a historic resource where the development might adversely impact the historic resource; or The Director may ask the developer of a sensitive site to use a multidisciplinary design team, including architects, engineers and landscape architects, to ensure appropriate site development. F. Demolitions and moved buildings. A request to demolish a structure that is listed on the Inventory of Historical Resources may require review by the ARC. The ARC also reviews permits to move structures from one site to another within the City. See Appendix A to these guidelines. G. Other projects subject to ARC review. Sometimes a development project (for example, a subdivision) may need several different approvals by both the ARC and Planning Commission. The Director may refer certain projects to the ARC prior to Planning Commission review, to address basic site planning issues early in the process, and minimize conflicts in project purview between review authorities. The City's zoning regulations enable the ARC to approve use permits for minor site development exceptions. This streamlines the planning process by reducing application fees and the number of hearings required for a project. The ARC also reviews City projects, including municipal parks and public spaces, streetscape enhancements, and street furniture. eIZ 0 0 r� RESOLUTION NO. 9612 (2004 Series) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO APPROVING AN EXPENDITURE OF 2004/05 LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT GRANT FUNDS AND APPROVING A CITY MATCH FROM THE GENERAL FUND WHEREAS, the Federal Omnibus Appropriations Act, Public Law 104 -208, provides funds for implementation of the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program to be administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), U.S. Department of Justice; and WHEREAS, the City of San Luis Obispo is eligible to apply for the amount of $9,800 from the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program; and WHEREAS, as part of the application process, an advisory board was established to review the funding recommendations, and has provided non - binding counsel for the use of funds by the City of San Luis Obispo; and WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on October 5, 2004, to receive public input on the recommended 2004 /05 Local Law Enforcement Block Grant expenditure plan; NOW, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo approves the expenditure of $9,800 in Local Law Enforcement Block Grant funds for technology, equipment and training to enhance public safety services and approves the appropriation of required matching funds in the amount of $1,089 from the General Fund, and designates the Police Administrative Analyst as the grant Program Contact authorized to complete the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant on -line grant reports and processes to meet grant requirements and authorizes the Chief of Police to execute all grant related documents.

Part 42, Subpart G.

In 1994, the City conducted a self - evaluation and developed a transition plan. In November of 1995, San Luis Obispo adopted a resolution adopting the transition plan for the removal of barriers to access to City facilities as required by the ADA. The plan ensures that the programs offered at City facilities are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with mobility impairments. The City then increased the number of designated accessible parking spaces, installed curb ramps, and widened doors at City buildings. 9. The City has amended its employment policies to comply with the regulations of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission implementing title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, codified at 29 C.F.R. Part 1630. 10. The City of San Luis Obispo revised its Multi- Hazard Emergency Response Basic Plan in April 2000 to include a list of persons with special needs.

Our Council approved the attached resolution, asking that the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors support the formation of a vector control district. As you know, we are one of the few counties in the State without the protection of either a mosquito or vector control district. While you may have had good reasons for the earlier deferral of district consideration, With the presence of West Nile Virus, we feel strongly that the time has arrived for action. In recent months, our respective staffs' have worked collaboratively to address the mosquito problem at Laguna Lake due to the potential health hazards involved. Traditionally, however, public health has been the responsibility of County government. Unfortunately, as we know too well, State takeaways and other fiscal pressures have caused many counties to retrench, or totally withdraw, from traditional county responsibilities. Therefore, while we recognize that the County cannot simply launch a new, major program with your already strained general fund, your Board can make the decision to bring this issue to voters. We believe that voters, given the choice and enough information, will support providing you with the resources needed to fulfill your public health mission as it relates to mosquitoes and other health related pests. Therefore, the San Luis Obispo City Council respectfully requests Board action to place a vector control district — or at least a mosquito control program assessment measure — before the voters of the County at the earliest possible time. Even with timely action on the part of the Board and subsequent voter approval, the City is concerned that we are already late in addressing the West Nile problem. In the meantime, We continue to appreciate the efforts of your staff and we will continue to work collaboratively with them with the resources now available to us. Sincerely yours, David Romero Mayor cc: City Council, Dr. Gregory Thomas, City Staff Distribution RESOLUTION NO. 9602 (2004 Series) . A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO REQUESTING THAT THE SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SUPPORT THE FORMATION OF A VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT WHEREAS, it has been found that the disease West Nile virus, a serious threat to the health of our community, has been discovered within San Luis Obispo County; and WHEREAS, West Nile virus has caused the deaths of at least four people with the State of California, and infected over one hundred more; and WHEREAS, the West Nile virus is spread to people and animals by mosquitoes infected with the disease; and WHEREAS, other health problems associated with mosquitoes and other pests can only be effectively addressed in a regional fashion; and WHEREAS, the County of San Luis Obispo is one of the only counties within the State that currently does not have a Vector Control District in place. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis Obispo that the formation of a Vector Control District within the County of San Luis Obispo should have a high priority with the Board of Supervisors and should be authorized for voter approval at the earliest possible time.
